Pet Peeves
« on: September 13, 2006, 11:14:00 am »
One per customer and I'll start
 
 Using the word Haters... It annoys me to no end and makes me actually want to "hate" something even more  when people use it.  I will be so glad when it goes out of usage.
 
 (apologies to sweetcell nothing personal, but it's been a bee in my bonnet for awhile and was finally time to shoo the bee away. i also look rather fetching in my bonnet by the way   :D  I'm also grumpy which usually doesn't happen until Fridays)

Lazy people who stand on the left side of Metro escalators, thereby blocking the way for those people who wish to walk.
 
 Particularly those who stand on a down escalator. How fucking lazy is that?

Agreed.  Similarly, people that walk next to each other on the sidewalk and either refuse to move when someone walks in the opposite direction or act like they're doing you a favor by moving.
 
 It's the worst part of my jog through Old Towne, especially because it happens in the road as well as on the sidewalk.

Oooh, me too.  I always feel like Homer Simpson stepping in the mud for Marge's limo as I walk in to a bush or something so they can walk by untouched.

My solution is to simply run into them.

my pet peeve has become sweetcell, who manages be both captain obvious and donny from big lebowski (like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know what's going on) with his never-clever comments.  i was really hoping he would disappear after the timberlake presale was over but no luck.
 
 it's stupid, i know, and i'm not saying i'm the greatest contributer ever, but for some reason it just grinds my gears.

People who no matter how many times you have met them, continue to act like they have no clue who you are

Also, not to harp on sweetcell (since his last post reminded me of this) but using the term Ticketbastard.  Yes, we all know they're terrible.  But give me a break...

Drink slurpers.  I don't care if it is hot or what, slurping is just bad manners and may well get the can/cup shoved down your throat.

People who wave impatiently and/or snap their fingers at busy bartenders and waitstaff.  I've never even worked in food service and that shit pisses me off.
